Happy Birthday Rainbows

Hi all,
I created 2 cards for this post...the first card is for the current Hero Arts Challenge. I chose to make a card for the ‘Rainbow of Color Birthday’ category, and used my brand new triangle die. I am also entering this card into the current challenge at ABNH - 'Roy G. Biv' - I just love the clever play on words!

My design is based on another fun video I watched by Laura Bassen (what's new, right?). Laura created the video for the Hero Arts Blog about 2 weeks ago that she called 'The Two-fer'. I die cut white cardstock 3 times, stacked them, and measured what I needed for the sentiment. After I colored the background with Copics, I cut down the die cuts and wanted to add a detail to this card - I placed the top and bottom panels so that the points of the triangle were facing the sentiment. Finally, I added a few gems.


My 2nd card is for this week’s challenge at ATCAS for the Code Word: 'Coffee'. I’m a huge coffee fan...in fact, my family routinely gives me gift cards for Dunkin’ Donuts, so this card is actually my personal homage to ‘Coffee’ - lol!

The coffee cup was stamped on Kraft cardstock, but on screen is a little 'off''...sorry about that! I used a really light ink for the steam, so it’s hard to see on screen. Here’s a close-up:

Well, that’s it for me...I hope everyone had a great weekend,  ~
